REPORTING PROVISION MBEfWBE reporting is required annually for assistance agreements where there are funds budgeted for procuring construction, equipment, services and supplies, including funds budgeted for direct procurement by the recipient or procurement under subawards or loans in the "Other" category, that exceed the threshold amount of $150,000, including amendments and/or modifications. Based on EPA's review of the planned budget, this award does not meet the condition above and is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. However, if during the performance of the award the total of all funds expended for direct procurement by the recipient and procurement under subwards or loans in the "Other" category exceeds $150,000, annual reports will be required in accordance with the reporting paragraph below and you are required to notify your grant specialist for additional instructions. The recipient also agrees to request prior approval from EPA for procurements that may activate DBE Program reporting requirements. This provision represents an approved deviation from the MBE/WBE reporting requirements as described in 40 CFR, Part 33, Section 33.502; however, the other requirements outlined in 40 CFR Part 33 remain in effect, including the Good Faith Efforts requirements as described in 40 CFR Part 33 Subpart C and Fair Share Objectives negotiation as described in 40 CFR Part 33 Subpart D and explained below. MBEfWBE REPORTING, 40 CFR, Part 33, Subpart E When required, MBE/WBE reports must be submitted annually. The recipient agrees to complete and submit a "MBEIWBE Utilization Under Federal Grants, Cooperative Agreements and Interagency Agreements" report (EPA Form 5700-52A) on an annual basis. All procurement actions are reportable, not just that portion which exceeds $150,000. When completing the annual report, recipients are instructed to check the box titled "annual" in section I B of the form. For the final report, recipients are instructed to check the box indicated for the "last report" of the project in section IB of the form. Annual reports are due by October 30'h of each year. Final reports are due by October 30 or 90 days after the end of the project period, whichever comes first. The reporting requirement is based on total procurements. Recipients with expended and/or budgeted funds for procurement are required to report annually whether the planned procurements take place during the reporting period or not. If no budgeted procurements take place during the reporting period, the recipient should check the box in section 5B when completing the form. �51111011pkpll arrillinil; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Grants Management Office SNAFC, 61 Forsyth Street, SW Atlanta, GA 30303 cc: johnson.sharonita@epa.gov The current EPA Form 5700-52A can be found at the EPA Office of Small Business Program's Home Page at httg-//www.epa.gov/`oisbp�/dbe reporting.htin FAIR SHARE OBJECTIVES, 40 CFR, Part 33, Subpart D This assistance agreement is a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG); or the award amount is $250,000 or less; or the total dollar amount of all of the recipient's financial assistance agreements from EPA in the current Federal fiscal year is $250,000 or less.

SIX GOOD FAITH EFFORTS, 40 CFR, Part 33, Subpart C Pursuant to 40 CFR, Section 33.301, the recipient agrees to make the following good faith efforts whenever procuring construction, equipment, services and supplies under an EPA financial assistance agreement, and to require that sub -recipients, loan recipients, and prime contractors also comply. Records documenting compliance with the six good faith efforts shall be retained: (a) Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. For Indian Tribal, State and Local and Government recipients, this will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are potential sources. (b) Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. (c) Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. For Indian Tribal, State and local Government recipients, this will include dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process. (d) Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually.
